This small shell utility converts 8-bit BMPs to 'C' code accepted by Reaction's
penmap.image.
Keep in mind that only 8-bit images are handled now. It should be enough for
placing small
logos in your Reaction Windows. The utility was tested with BMPs written by:
Amiga/PersonalPaint, Win/Paint, Win/IrfanView.
There is slightly modified source code of "PenMapExample.c" demo included in the
archive.
The original code of this demo is taken from SDK/Examples/Reaction/OS4Examples.
The source code shows how to use the code generated by this utility.
Let's assume that we want to convert image "boing.bmp" (it is also in the
archive).
In the shell we have to go to the "demo" folder and type:
/bmp2penamp boing.bmp img.c
It creates file "img.c". Now we have to compile "PenMapExample.c".
It may be done, with:
gcc -o PenMapExample PenMapExample.c -lauto -lraauto
Run the executable, resize window and enjoy your eyes, hopefully.
